It has been 2 months since I was united with my daughter; and today, she is exactly 11 months old! She has changed so much, and it has been such a joy to wake up to her smiling beautiful face each morning and to watch her learn, grow, and blossom each day.
Emilee is a happy, loving, and very affectionate baby. She has an infectious laugh and gives the sweetest kisses in the world!
She plays this adorable game- She loves to give you Tibetan Kisses. When you ask for a kiss, she leans her head in forward for you to rub your head against hers. Then she looks up and gives you the biggest smile.
Emilee loves to flirt. She trys to catch strangers eyes and then after they come to see her, she buries her face in whoever is caring her and trys to act shy.
Emilee has 8 teeth now: the four on the top and the four on the bottom. She is also starting to cut her molars. Poor thing. She always has her hands in her mouth. surpizingly with all the pain and discomfort she must be experiencing, she still has a happy disposition.
Emilees biggest accomplishment to date is her crawling. Finally after much coaching she is catching on and her feet now follow her arms. Two months ago, Emilee could not roll over or sit herself up, now she is very mobile. She can also pull herself up to stand while holding onto something. We think she will be walking very soon! She loves exploring and is into everything. She is such a curious child and needs to touch everything.
Currently we are working on verbal skills. They seem to be developing more slowly. She understands everything to our amazement. But she is not forming words. She does look intently at peoples lips and often feels them to try to grasp the movement and sound of the moth forming the words. She trys to imitate the movement with her moth, but the sounds are not forming yet. I am patiently waiting to find out what her first words are going to be. I guess I will have to wait a bit longer to find out.
Emilee LOVES books and is always handing one to me to read with her. She correctly turns the pages on command, and points to the words and pictures. Today, she picked up one of her board books and started looking at it upside down. She immediately turned the book right side up! I was so impressed! She also LOVES music, and she loves to dance! Whenever she hears music she wiggles her arms and shakes her bum. Her hands move up and down to the beat and her head bobs from side to side. It is the cutest thing to watch.I
cannot tell you what a joy the last two months have been for me. I am the happiest I have ever been. I cannot wait to see Emilee grow and develop into the amazing person she will become.
